THE MAGNIFICENT 150 
    “Una terra è esistita”. L'intelligenza, l'eroismo e l'umanità dei suoi figli     
     sono state faro per le genti di tutto il mondo di ogni epoca. Per omaggiare     
     la     
     Patria, in ricordo del Centocinquantesimo anniversario della Sua unità, ho     
     riportato i nomi di  Centocinquanta Grandi italiani. Uomini, donne di ogni     
     età     
     e di ogni estrazione sociale  irripetibili, irraggiungibili che hanno     
     
   brought up the name of the beautiful country of science, the arts, politics, the   
   religion, and even sacrificed their precious lives for the   
   Sacred   
   national soil. To you, therefore, delighted readers from this partial list and   
   now   
   I do not want to hurt if I left out some clumsily list. If I   
   err assure you right now that have not been tainted by bad   
   faith   
   or unhealthy ideologies. I wanted to consider the names that   
   I personally have been at the heart of our identity.   
   lights   
   eternal glory of our past, then the common path forward.   
   Good reading. My hope is that even today, these names, these faces,   
   these stories will make you pawing the heart, eyes wet,   
   illuminate   
   spirit, cheer up your faith. We are Italians. "That land there   
   again." That the cradle of science and knowledge is still with us!   
   Viva La Patria! Viva Italians!
